Early in the year we added a third blog to our arsenal – the fab Deals Hunters Blog highlighting some great glitches and money-saving tricks. So for...

If you’ve been giving Maybelline’s new release the eye we’ve got the perfect deal for you. If you go online now to Boots or into a store you’ll find Maybelline’s Lash Sensational mascara in ‘Very Black’ at the introductory price of £5.99 until Tue 17 Feb (cheapest elsewhere is £7.99).

The news that EE is stopping its ‘Orange Wednesdays’ 2for1 cinema offer from 25 February has come as a blow to many film fans. But there’s a nifty trick for bagging cheap cinema tickets… would a ‘free’ year’s unlimited Cineworld pass worth almost £200 do it for you? Here’s how I got one. Step 1 Do you...

If your New Year’s resolution for 2015 is to eat better and get more exercise (and you’re not among the two-thirds of Brits who’ve already given up!) then you’ll now be a few weeks into a healthy new lifestyle, and those can become expensive. Costly gym memberships aren’t for everyone – so if you’ve used up your...

The Sun regularly runs ‘£9.50’ holiday deals, but actually with the added extras they don’t always work out that cheap. You also usually need to buy The Sun newspaper and collect 10 tokens to sign up for these bargain breaks – costing you at least £4. The date for doing that has now passed, but MSE user Philip...

High street chain Timpson is offering free dry cleaning to the unemployed – if you need an outfit for a job interview. You don’t need a voucher for this, just ask at the counter to get the deal.

If you trawl Amazon’s e-book store, you’ll find hundreds of out-of-copyright classics available completely free of charge as digital downloads… But wait a minute.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
